More details from petition creator

This petition is in response to proposals from ITV plc to abandon local news in areas covered by its broadcasting licences. The company is also planning to reduce its regional television services from seventeen to nine. If approved this would have serious consequences for communities in the UK. Under the Communications Act 2003 the broadcasting regulator Ofcom is responsible for ensuring that public service broadcasting in the UK is ‘maintained and strengthened’. Ofcom is required to decide whether ITV’s plan is given the go-ahead. The government has also brought forward a planned review of broadcasting in the UK. We believe that television news is an important feature of a democratic society and that services in the UK should provide an effective alternative to the service provided by the BBC. Please contact saveitvnews@gmail.com to help the campaign. This petition has been launched by the NUJ.
